Rose left the game late with a hamstring injury. He seems to be getting dinged up every time he puts tons of pressure on his knee(s).

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Rudy Gay gives new meaning to the term 'volume shooter'...He scores 29 points on 11-37 shooting...37 shots...wow...granted it was a double overtime game, but even still Allen Iverson would even be proud of that many attempts.

His starting wingmate ends up going 6-25 for an awesome 24%...giving them a combined total 17-62 for a sizzling 27%

Easy win for the Spurs even without Duncan. Looks like the Sixers magic is slowly fading away. Now at 4-4, tied with Boston who is now on a roll.

And Rockets...wow. They need to fix their team right now. Raptors shooting so horribly and yet the can't get away with them easily. Still, Dwight finished impressive on both ends. The DPOY competition looks interesting this year.

Dwight's going to have the more impressive numbers for sure, but as of now, there's no way Roy Hibbert doesn't get it, and PG should be on first team as well.

Hopefully so. The Rockets have been playing awful defense, but mostly due to their back court not playing decent D. But still I think it will be a good race between the two, as Chandler has a setback and Marc Gasol's D hasn't looked impressive as of late.

I think James Harden was both sick and injured, otherwise it would have never made it to OT.

My prediction: Solomon Hill is going to lead the team in Surprisingly Good Plays for the year. -10/29/2014

Late night research so it may be wrong, but atm the west is 18-10 vs the east, with 4 of those losses coming from Utah. The Pacers won against the Pelicans and Grizzlies, so only 4 other east over west games that don't involve the Pacers or Jazz.

What if someone from a school of business or management school were to ask, How did you do this? How did you get the Pacers turned around? Is there a general approach you've taken that can be summarized?
